A Journey to Adulthood

chapter 1

Where to start from, yeah, I know; it's Monday again and the beginning of a new week. How I most wish to be a grown up, in order to avoid going to school.

"Maya!!!!! come down for breakfast."

"Coming mom, will be down soon, hhha."

As you now know, my name is Maya, well Maya Antonia Stranford, presently in 9th grade. Life for me has not been a bliss. You may ask why, and my response is Gregory High School. You may say it's just high school, but not for me it is the beginning of the nightmare in my life.

"Mom, what's for breakfast?"

"The usual pancakes and milk, uhh can't we have sandwiche for a day, not the usual?"

This is my younger brother Aiden. Yeah, he is the baby of the house and behaves like a total baby. Sometimes, I wish to have his type of life where he is least bothered of what goes on in his life. Actually, he gat it going well for him.

"Morning Mum"

This is my older brother Jeremy, the typical every girl crush. Yeah, God really blessed him with the looks. Lucky him, his face paves the way for him in every situation he finds himself.

"Hey, May," he roughly runs his hand through her hair. "Uhh, Jeremy, mum Jeremy,' 'Jerry, leave your sister.'

"Haha, mum, it's really nothing to fuse about."

It got to disgust me sometimes because anytime he comes to pick me up from school, all those crazy ass bitches surrounds the car and I don't want to inquire into his private life because I know it's messed up. He can be a douchebag at times, but he still takes care of us, his younger ones.

Lastly, my immediate older brother Eurico, as the name sounds, he is such a gentle soul, quiet, and any other thing that quiet people do. I will say his my favourite tho among my siblings because of his listening ear to me when I feel down.

"Love you guys," and mum pecks us on the cheek. "Jerry, don't forget to drop your siblings off at school and no quarrelling. I am off to work. "

This is my queue to go to that trench hole of a school. You may ask what of your dad, but he is not always at home, I will say his busy at work but we get to see him during the weekend, so yeah my mum literally takes care of all of us at home.

"May we are at your school drop off. I gat to drop Aiden and be, at somewhere by 10. Have a nice day. Haha" "f**k off douche face I know your being sarcastic."

Gregory High School, a lot will say it is the home of excellence where they have always been at the top of the record of best schools but to me, it is more than that, it's hell.

"Look, it's miss ugly face, I wonder if she really came from the same womb with her brothers? Hahaha."I also wonder the same thing her brothers are angels while she, hahaha, she looks like a troll, haha."

Yeah, usually those words are meant to get to me, but with the years I have spent here, I have really become immune to such things. Here, there is a ladder of hierarchy, I don't really want to go into it, but I will explain it to you as we go on. The bitches who greeted me outside they are the Inner circle let's say they are the lapdog of the Angelixirs.

The Angelixirs they are the highest ranked students in this place they run the affairs of the school, and yeah, they are in 12th grade, so precisely, that is why they handle the school affairs name it; dress code and the rest.

The next group is the Socialites. These are the trend setters.They literally know all the parties happening in the school, but they have a nasty attitude, and funny enough, they don't recruit new members and are few in number.

Then we have the book worms, they are the brains, nothing much, The Misfits they are against the hierarchy ladder in the school and don't participate in school politics and then the floaters which is where I belong. We don't belong to any groups and are just in the school to feel up space.

So because of the group I am in, I have no friends, that is why you can refer to me as a loner.
